The former Alabama standout and 12-year NBA veteran has agreed to a one-year deal with the Minnesota Timberwolves worth $3.75 million, according to an AP story.

Williams, a Jackson, Miss. native, played 74 games in 2013-2014 for the Portland Trailblazers. The 6-foot-1, 195-pounder, averaging 9.7 points, 4.3 assists and 2.1 rebounds while playing backup to all-star point guard Damian Lillard for a team which reached the second round of the Western Conference playoffs.

Spaniard Ricky Rubio has the T-Wolves' starting point guard job locked up, coming off a junior campaign during which he averaged 9.5 points and 8.6 rebounds, fifth best in the league.

Minnesota's roster also includes J.J. Barea, a solid reserve at the point.
